I completely understand, and want to be able to achieve exactly the same. 
This worked in the early Emby beta to assign a tag to that collection, but they removed that option in an update. 
 

I believe this might still be available under the hood, for example to add a subtitle is still possible to achieve even though Emby removed that option from the native menus. 
 

I have focused on other things for the plugin, but now might be a good time to start investigate this a bit more! 

That would be awesome!
I do know the ACdb has an option to add tags to collections?
I'm not sure if it actually does that in Emby as well, but it seems like tags for collections still exist in some type of way?

Either way, for the customization I'm going for, a feature like this would massively simplify my collections!

Is there a way to apply playstates to each user automatically? For example if I create a new source and add the filter "unplayed" I can choose the user or all users. This requires that a unique playlist for each user to incorporate their watched status. If I create a home screen selection through the Emby UI I can add the playstate filter and it applies to that user. If I copy the setting to any other user it will apply their own watched status.

Does that make any sense?
